Gone the dwindled light of day
Wrested from my megre time,
Lost to restlessness of soul
Theiving inattention's find.

Diverted from the sunset glow
Diverted from the satin air,
A moments crass diversion lost
To innattention's small despair.

A moment from a busy day
Where tumult and confusion find
Exhaustion as the sun descends...
To respite sought within my mind.

Alas the moment passed me by
The folds of satin night descend,
A cup of tea is quietly poured
In waiting for the dark pall's end.

In velvet twilight.
28 August 2012

I really want to tell you,
I want to let you know.
The feelings that I have for you
And what they might become.

But will I ever have the chance,
Ever have the nerve?
The way you smile at me...
I get nervous.

There's another side of you
I didn't think you possessed;
The pain and loss you suffered,
The wonderings you had.

It's like my own life story,
Just a little different.
But that was years ago;
Today is today.

I have no clue how to tell you,
And I don't know when.
But I know that we're friends now...
And that's enough for me.
